Swiss Castles Day

Swiss Castles Day is the most important event organized by the Swiss Castles Association and its 30 member castles. On the first Sunday in October in three language regions of Switzerland, it offers a rich and varied programme for a wide audience, especially for families. Each year, a special theme is chosen.

Save the date

The next Castle Day will take place on Sunday, 5 October 2025. The 10th Swiss Castles Day is dedicated to “Craftsmanship”. Exciting and varied programmes are being prepared across 30 castles. Details will be published here from summer 2025.

Swiss Castles Day 2024

The 9th Swiss Castles Day is ancient history!  On 6 October 2024, across 28 castles, we played music, danced and celebrated. The programmes, based around the theme of “Music and Celebration”, were extremely varied.

Swiss Castles Day was supported by Brasserie Locher.
